You already know that keeping your skin clean is important when you are coping with eczema. However, all too many of the skin cleansers available at stores contain ingredients which are simply too harsh to use on your skin - they irritate your skin, causing your eczema to become even worse than it is already.
Thankfully, there are eczema natural remedies which can help you to thoroughly cleanse your skin without irritation, helping you to heal naturally. A mixture of slippery elm bark, comfrey root and white oak bark makes a great cleanser which you can use every day, including when you’re dealing with an outbreak of eczema. It helps alleviate the inflammation and itching and best of all, it is so gentle that it is even suitable for use with infants.
Comfrey root has been used for centuries to heal wounds and reduce inflammation. It also accelerates cell growth and renewal and helps to reduce scarring.
White oak bark is an excellent source of zinc, which soothes the skin as well as vitamin B12. Additionally, its astringency helps reduce inflammation and tone your skin.
Slippery elm is packed full of tannins, like the cleansers found in oatmeal discussed earlier in this article. These cleaners are very powerful at removing and killing germs. Slippery elm is also great for reducing inflammation resulting from infection.
This skin wash is one of the best eczema natural remedies out there and it is easy to make too. Simply combine 1 tsp each of comfrey root, slippery elm bark and white oak bark with 2 cups of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for about half an hour before removing from heat, allowing to cool completely and straining out the solids. The remaining liquid can be used as you would use any other skin wash.
There are many other remedies for eczema, but this one will greatly help alleviate your suffering, soothe your skin, and help you heal.
